This marks the end to gun control

Yup the obvious in technology happened...we told you so.


This marks the end of gun control




The federal government has finally recognized the obvious – that sharing instructions on how to make guns with 3D printers counts as constitutionally protected speech. Despite little fanfare, this is an important victory for First Amendment rights. It also represents a real blow to the increasingly futile cause of gun control.

The U.S. Justice Department announced a legal settlement and its surrender to the First Amendment arguments July 10 made in a case brought by Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed. Wilson, 25, created a ruckus in May 2013 when he announced his successful design of a plastic gun. In just two days, 100,000 copies of the handgun blueprint were downloaded from Wilson’s website.

The most downloads came from Spain, followed by the U.S., Brazil and Germany. The heavy downloading in Spain, Brazil and Germany likely reflected attempts to evade extremely restrictive handgun regulations in those countries.

Yes..... once it is out there there is no way to stop it. And this is just the beginning...imagine 20 years from now what 3D printing will be like...

Is this a good thing if a terrorist can smuggle a 3D printed gun on an airplane? Sounds like people who shouldn't have a weapon will be able to bypass the background checks.

The gun isn't going to be plastic.......

I know instead of 20 hours or so to make something with a 3d printer it will take minutes or even seconds ..

But will people be able to gain access to 3D weapons without a background check? Not sure I like where this is going.

Let's stop importing terrorists ok?

That's exactly what it is and no way to stop it, 3d printers are getting cheaper by the day, remember when computers came out? What my first one was 5 grand now a few hundred bucks or less and 1,000 times plus more powerful.

Let's not evade the question either. Will a terrorist be able to get one of these things through airport security?

Well the bullets won't be plastic

How could they possibly do that? As already stated they aren't going to be plastic! Then of course it depends on if he has help getting it through security, because you know how those libs like to make a point!

Can they get one through right now?

Power to the people. As polymer technologies advance so will leaps and bounds in pressure tolerances and component life. The future's looking bright. What I want is a 3D forge printer.

Criminals already get their guns without background checks. Background checks only effect law abiding gun owners....so there is no problem here.

They can 3d print metal now, even gold

[Confounding]

I find it hard to believe you can 3d print a fully functional gun. Maybe certain parts of the gun can be printed, but are you telling me 3d print material can withstand the impact of the bullet explosions as they are ejected from the gun?

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), also known as selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser melting (SLM), is a powder bed system and the most popularmetal 3D printing process. ... This 3D printing metal technology is fast, relatively cheap, and can also be used to create large structures.

No. They said the exact same thing with Glocks when they first came out since the grip was a polymer...the anti gunners lied about it getting through air port security because the barrel and bullets were still metal.

Good to have a firearms expert show up. Show these guys how dumb they are!

Sounds good. Sign me up. Last thing I saw printed was a Yoda head.
